Late this morning I took a walk through this year’s EarthFair. You might have seen my blog last year, when I posted photographs from the gigantic event. Every year EarthFair attracts tens of thousands of enthusiastic San Diegans to Balboa Park to celebrate Earth Day. It’s billed as the largest free annual environmental fair in the world, and that sounds true to me! It’s huge!
Many of the over 300 exhibitors throughout Balboa Park can be seen at the event every year, and last year I featured many in photos. So I figured this year I’d focus slightly more on close up images. Super colorful art on signs, shirts, gifts and canvases provided many opportunities for my camera. I also saw a lot of smiles!
Donate Don’t Dump is a project undertaken by Rob Greenfield. Check out my blog from last year, if you’d like!
Is this painting of local baseball legend Tony Gwynn awesome, or what? It has a Facebook page!

Loved your photos! You got to some of the vendors that I was looking for, like the Urban Farming advocates and the Cacaofest booth. Michael Rosenblatt’s paintings were the first art booth we came to, his works were really eye-popping.
Richard, do you mind if I link to your blog for my article? And especially to the Glean Queens, too, they were the type of booth that I was looking for but missed seeing!
